Beautiful video once again! I was waiting for this one, and it was as amazing as I hoped. Great to see and hear some 2ply clear heads on this kit. With these heads on, all the potential to play metal with it is coming out. Thanks for making this!
Thank you very much !! It means a lot for me to read this as I want to share my discoveries and thoughts ! Man I was so amazed when I was tuning the shells with the news heads and listening to the difference ! The shells are so versatile, and can be used in every genres without hesitation 👌🏻
Thanks a lot !!! 💪🏻💪🏻 It sounds exactly how I imagined and even better 🖤 Can’t wait to complete the sound research of this kit and release my first cover video !
An excellent sound demonstration. I really appreciated that you didn't hit the cymbals, so we could focus on the attack, tone, sustain and decay of each drum. I would like to hear that kick with a remo ps 2 or an Evans equivalent. I have stayed away from Yama drums because they usually don't offer kicks with a 45 degree bearing edge. You had that kick sounding about as good as I've heard a Tama kick sound.
Thank you so much ! I really wanted to let the toms and kick resonate to its full potential as it is a soundcheck of the Tama STAR Walnut set and not Zildjian cymbals 😊 Happy you like it ! I understand and I am curious too about the kick with a two ply Evans head… maybe later on with an acoustic kick recording 😉 I really am blown away about how it sounds, and especially raw as it is presented in this video ! Cheers from France !
Great video! I'm so happy for you, you seem a nice dude. The ambience on and off is the room mics?? And one more question. Isn't a "pity" to buy an expensive drum kit but only trigger the bass drums? That's a question for most drummers that do this not only you Enjoy my friend!
Thank you for watching Elias ! And also for commenting a lot, it always nice to recognise the names of the ones I talk to via TH-cam ! Exactly, when the ambiance is engaged, it is a stereo pair of Shure SM81 to capture the space of the room I am in ! That is a great question you ask here 😉 And it could be yeah, as it is for now an aesthetic thing. But as it is a dream kit, I intent to keep it for years and years. So there will be chances that I will record acoustic kicks later on…😉
Hello Thomas 👋. Your new Tama looks great and sounds great ❤🔥. I have a question because I also use Evans EC2S Clear and EC2S Reso, and for my Starphonic Cooper Snare I use Heavyweight Dry Coated 2ply on the top. We have a similar drum setup (mine is the Tama Starclassic Walnut Birch). Do you tune your rack toms and floor toms to specific sounds and notes or just what you hear? You have a great sound and that's why I would like to compare it with how my dad tunes my drums. Thanks and greetings from Poland 😊
Hi there Emmanuel ! Thank you so much for watching !! 🔥 Nice choice of heads for your toms and snare 😉 I always tune my shells with the batter head first to choose the right pitch by ear and then the Reso one to set the sustain. I never tune to a specific note. Only pitch without any tuner ! But for the next video I will release, I will test something 😉 But if you want to learn how to tune your shells, I don’t know if you saw but I released a series of videos to share how I do it ! Here are the videos : HOW TO TUNE YOUR BASS DRUM th-cam.com/video/8czPKPOIdOY/w-d-xo.html HOW TO TUNE YOUR TOMS th-cam.com/video/dS18clzcCMw/w-d-xo.html HOW TO TUNE YOUR SNARE th-cam.com/video/iNzbEyV07zY/w-d-xo.html Cheers my friend !

Merci ! C’est vrai qu’il est super beau, très subtile mais des que le logo capte la lumière, il brille et on découvre le Tama en noir brillant. Il est superbe. Oui je l’ai commandé 😉 Tout comme celui avec le logo blanc et le trait rouge !
@@maximpopov199yeah totally ! It is my main technique, and I did a video to explain how to learn it 😊 Here it is : DOUBLE STROKES TECHNIQUE / HEEL-TOE [Extreme Drumming] th-cam.com/video/HuWI3aJzqAU/w-d-xo.html Cheers !
Because we are not used to hear a flat recording of toms. These toms are 100% raw recorded through my Shure Beta98AMP which are very precise and not boomy, but if you analyse the sound recorded, you can see all the toms has a good bass presence that can be really pushed when mixing. In real life, the floor toms make the room shakes !
@@ThomasCremier I want to clarify that this isn't a personal critique of your skills or efforts. I believe the issue lies with the drum sound, which comes across as a bit thin to me. While I understand your point about the mics-I've recorded drums myself many times-I've found that certain drums naturally sound fuller under the mics without requiring much processing. Sound is indeed subjective, but in my experience, drums like the Gretsch Renown series and above and Mapex Saturns tend to have a bassier, darker tone while still maintaining good sustain.
@@user-gh9iw1of2yoh don’t you worry, I didn’t feel it this way at all ! I really think that the original sound with the original heads is really thin sounding because of the Remo single ply head (I really do not like at all). But with the Evans EC2S I installed after, the sound is wider, bigger, more powerful and impactful! These shells are really precise and have an already cut in the medium frequencies, and the bass region is controlled but big!
Video for the snare will be released in he coming weeks / month, and I will try a great variety of Evans Drumheads. I can’t wait to install 2-ply heads and crank the batter head to make it pop and crisp !

Love the look and sound of the kit! That finish in the snare is awesome! C’est tellement cool!
That Satin Charcoal Japanese Sen finish is so gorgeous 🖤
And yeah, the copper snare is beautiful too !
Je suis très content que ça te plaise 😉
Holy crap bro. YES!

I love how it sounds !! 🙏🏻
Yeah, Man.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Cheers.. Great sounding kit.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

le son est super! tu as bien assuré le tuning
Merci beaucoup !!! 🙌🏻
J’adore passer du temps à accorder de la meilleure manière possible avec le bon écart de tons entre les toms ✨

Why the toms are so thin sounding? I hear no bass at all. I don't like the sound at all.

I was just saying the exact same thing, bro.. bassdrums, too. This reminds me why I play Remo drum heads
Thomas Starr usually comes with Remo drum heads. I don't know how they came with those crappy Evans
@@lrizo3841because the Starphonic is not part of the Star line
